does the chair go to a fully flat position so that you can lay on your stomach to tan your back? If not, is there a quality chair that anyone can recommend--my wife is very specific in her NEEDS!

no this chair doesn't go flat. what makes this chair more than a $15 chair and highly comfortable in spite of not fitting your request is laying on your back and having the pressure of your weight taken off (hence the 'zero gravity' name--though it's not truly zero...it's quite nice otherwise.)

It sounds like you want a chaise lounge. Most can be adjusted to a fully flat position. Or if you need portability or on a budget, something like the Coleman Convert-a-Cot. Amzon sells several lounging cots. For example:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Sand-Dune-Chaise-Lounges-Tan-Set-of-2/10783751See last photo of theColeman Converta Cot(TM)

No, this chair doesn't go completely flat. It's really not a tanning chair.

No, this one doesn't lay flat. Not sure of a good one that does, sorry not to be of more help.

No it does not allow you to lay on your stomach but if you are one who doesn't care about that or has back problems it is heaven. Sandy H.

The entire chair reclines. The back on this particular chair in locked in one position. I don't find it a problem though... I think it is comfortable.

The chair is design with a straight back. However, the design of the actual seat will result in about a 3-5 degree slant when you set down. This is ideal for me. I hope this helps.

Yes, it does lay flat. However, it's the most uncomfortable chair I've ever bought. I should have returned it! Waste of money. No one in our family likes or uses it

No, it's pretty bulky and uncomfortable to even put in a chair behind you and leaning back on it..you'd have to lay on your stomach and put on your back. I had the best luck using it on my hip as I cut put it beside me fairly comfortably.

I do not lay on mine too often. I use it on my back while sitting in a chair most times but sometimes I recline in the chair. That is the only time I lay on mine. I am using it right now. It is giving me such wonderful penetrating warmth.

It depends on what your body needs for comfort. I,personally like it to be reclined, but the degree of recline needed varies. I bought my chair because I absolutely needed to relax my back, so when I put the body in that chair it is reclined. Guests in my house have sat in it without reclining. Had this chair since about 1999, love it!

It is not the most comfortable chairs if you want to lie on your stomach. You will need to put a pillow on your stomach area because that is where it curves down.

No...not unless you have an extremely flexible back! This chair will not lay completely flat.

Hello, We do apologize, the chair does recline but it does not lay flat. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

Yes you can lay flat on your back. It is very comfortable. I am SO glad I got it.

I've never tried to lie down on my stomach. The back is really very comfortable!

No, it does not. It is definitely a lie-on-your-back chair. But so comfortable I've literally fallen asleep in it! If you're looking for something for tanning and want to be able to "flip over," this is not the chair for you.

This chair does not lay flat. As you recline the bottom of the chair raises.

That depends on a lot of things, do you always sit up straight if not you of course will have to make adjustments while the chair is built for comfort it's shaped to keep you upright making you sit straight or slump, I would buy it again.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.
